Friday night I locked the doors with the door lock switch by the entry door. On sat morning I unlocked the doors like normal with the switch by the door. Last night I tried to lock the doors (driver & entry) and nothing would work. I checked the reset below the fuse panel by driver's left foot and it is not tripped. The strange thing is I cannot manually override he door locks on either door. The entry door has a 2nd lock that works but the the lock handle on the door won't budge. The driver's doors is the same. I can't budge the lock lever so I can't lock that door. I have always been able to over ride the locks manually. I tried both remotes and they don't do anything either with the exception being when I push the unlock button the entry light comes on like normal.

Any suggestions would be appreciated;

Don

Don, I had the same problem a couple years ago and they had to replace the "master remote" unit in the drivers door. Apparently it failed causing all the lock plumgers to not operate, or in other words, lockup.

Wish I could help more, I just don't remember all the details.

Good luck,

Thanks Mike and David for your help.

I called Winnebago help today and the fellow I talked to suggested the switch by the door or a relay stuck and fried the servos in the doors. He said that would explain why I can't manually over ride the door locks. I checked the switch by the entry door today and it appears to remain in the unlock position for some time and than releases.
